Time-lapse footage captures the Costa Concordia cruise ship being pulled completely upright off the coast of Italy during an unprecedented 19-hour operation to wrench it from its side where it capsized last year off the coast of Italy. The ship capsized in January 2012, killing 32 people.

An international team of engineers is trying a never-before attempted strategy to set upright the luxury liner, which capsized after striking a reef in 2012 killing 32 people. (Andrea Sinibaldi/AP)
